Artists

Peju has become one of the most powerful and widely recognized contemporary artists living and working in Lagos. Through the last decade, her ever-evolving practice has consistently held audiences in awe. The exquisite nature of her technique produces and encounter between what is sense and what is known— as a material means to examine Nigeria’s shifting order of visibility within the global landscape.

Among her extensive resume highlights her recent experiences as a researcher at the Smithsonian Institute in D.C, as an art teacher in Venice, and as artist resident in Morocco and Turkey.

She was one of three exhibiting artists in the Nigerian pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale of which her exhibit, ‘ Flying Girls’ was described as “technically beautiful and haunting at the same time.”. Peju is also the winner of the prestigious 2017 FNB Art Prize.

From her initial training as an architect to her experiments with an incredibly broad spectrum of media—from words to clay and cloth—she has positioned herself as a demiurge. That is to say she has the ability to unearth multiple layers of meaning (and often violent historical memories) from beneath the surface of everyday objects, language, and social relations. Crafting alternative social imageries and challenging master narratives in politics and media, her trajectory sharply illustrates how artists in Africa are filling in the gaps left by official histories.

Adewale studied painting at the renowned Yaba College of Technology, Lagos Nigeria and works as a full time studio artist.

Moore grew up in rural Caruthers, a small agricultural town in central California. He has been an artist for over 30 years but during this period, he also held various positions in Banking, Finance and professional sports. A turning point for Mr Moore was when he was commissioned to create a monument-sized sculpture for Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, California. This phenomenal piece was a string catalyst for Moore to pursue his artistic talents with more rigour.

Moore’s style is simple but powerful. He states: "My contemporary metal sculpture is based on a rigorously geometric visual vocabulary that conveys both strength and grace. It’s connected to the figurative tradition of sculpture with an insightful and respectful representation of the human form”

Olu Spencer enrolled at the Abayomi Barber School at the then Centre for Cultural Studies, University of Lagos, where he studied the art of Painting, Sculpture and Design and graduated in 1976.

Following the path of his teacher and mentor, (Barber), he joined the National Council for Arts and Culture and worked as designer, painter, sculptor and curator until he left government service in 2006. He has since become a highly reclusive studio artist.

Apart from imbibing both formalistic and realistic approach to painting as an inheritance from the Abayomi Barber School, Spencer has intensied his creative muses matched with abundant talent and skill to redene his art. To Spencer, forms are compulsory vehicles through which his themes are driven to a magical point of analysis. Treatment of form, thematic depth and philosophical embellishment of ideas are striking signatures of consistency and the hallmark of identity inherent in his art.
